BATHURST, Australia (12 October 2014) – James Moffat and Taz Douglas have taken a sensational second place for Nissan Motorsport at the 2014 Bathurst 1000.

Moffat and Douglas ended a frantic, controversial and historic race on the podium after sustaining significant damage to their #360 Norton Nissan Altima.

Douglas was involved in two incidents at Griffiths Bend (Turn 2). The first came after contact with Cameron Waters, the second due to the track surface break-up that caused the race to eventually be red flagged for one hour after 61 laps.

The result gives Nissan its first podium result in the Bathurst 1000 since a Nissan Primera driven by Steven Richards and Matt Neal also finished second in the 1998 Bathurst 1000 held for two-litre Super Tourers and follows on from Nissan’s back-to-back Bathurst 1000 victories for the factory Nissan GT-R of Jim Richards and Mark Skaife in 1991 and 1992.
